I actually really enjoyed the first season, but yeah the others were bewilderingly bad.

Looking forward to the ultimate collision of franchises - "Law & Order: L Word"

Look, I'm not gonna lie - the first season was alright but my partner and I ended up watching the next two seasons as a pure, guilty pleasure hate watch. The dialogue was terrible, storylines were well intentioned but went nowhere, character motivations and relationships would change on a dime (they kept trying to convince us that Sophie was a good person...she was awful!!!), and song choices were so obvious that lyrics would basically act as secondary exposition.
Despite it all - this will always have a very special place in my heart because there was nothing more comforting to us during lockdown than getting takeaway and making an event out of watching this wonderful mess of a show.

No Showtime series has been renewed since the January announcement that the premium cable network will be integrated into Paramount+ across both streaming and linear later this year and renamed as Paramount+ with Showtime.
Showtime is dead. Only stuff surviving will be Billions, Yellowjackets, and The Chi. The rest of the stuff is done. They will just mirror the Paramount+ shows on cable to fill out the time slots and buy in some cheap co-productions from the UK.
I expect them to be announcing they are dropping the second season of Super-Pumped any day now. They have already pulled the first season from the service.

They left a bunch out of the show which they could put into season 3, like the whole thing with the Apparat’s cult, and Nikolai’s mountain fortress.

The season 5 finale gave me an honest to goodness panic attack. I can’t bring myself to watch season 6.

I am absolutely prepping a campaign in his world right now. The only books I have ever owned are his Shattered world series and Street Magic. I am pained to see they weren't mentioned in this article. In early 2000 I sent him an email asking permission to make a video game in his world. He responded declining due to dealing with some serious marital and life issues. I was expecting him to just blow me off due to my age, but he was totally cool about it and I feel like had I followed up a few years later he would have been up for it . This guys incredible imagery in his writing formed the basis of my imagination. I hope he was able to sort out his life, he had such a great impact on many peoples childhoods.

I’m fine with the labor getting paid. It’s largely just to space out filming.

I’d be kinda curious to see his take on Walter White.

The book was gripping. I was looking forward to the series but realized I just wanted to keep the story in my head.

Looking forward to "The L Word: Miami" and "The L Word: Cyber" in a couple of years.

I would assume brand-new cast, no originals and not even any of the younger "Q" cast. They SHOULD wipe the slate clean and start all over if they are going to continue this franchise, but really they should probably just kill it 100%.

This is an industry wide problem. Too many new shows, not enough good writers or good plots.

i just wish this show was…better. i don’t understand why it is so difficult to hire people who can write a cohesive story.

I love Showtime, the fact that they even gave this show three seasons is amazing considering I doubt it was a big draw.

Yes - not able to edit the title unfortunately.
I'm not sure that the reboot is going to be all that more successful. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. It seems like they should let different creatives take a crack at this 'franchise'.

Show hasn't been good since they arrived in America... but I've watched from the start so I'll see it through. Even though I don't believe they'll stick the landing, ending a couple seasons before the books will.

I've heard good things but one of the biggest reasons I like X Files is Mulder & Scully.
